The name of the plant does not derive from any practice
of placing straw on the berries as they grow. Instead it
is thought the name "straw" in Old English means
"chaff" - referring to the familiar pips which
cover the berries. The Wild Strawberry is not directly related
to the Garden Strawberry which are hybrids of North American
and Chilean Strawberries.
